When I was writing about The Hanger Project's suit hangers a while ago, Kirby Allison sent me a selection of his other hanger styles to put to use. They're really terrific - good looking and more effective than anything I had in my closet. I've been using the clamp style (above) to hang the ghurka shorts I wear on the golf course. 
At first I didn't see much need for Kirby's shirt hangers (above), but the shape and the width of the shoulders treats my knit tops better than the wire hangers the dry cleaner provides. 
Probably the most useful of the three are the felted trouser hangers. The felt keeps trousers from slipping, and the width of the bar means the trousers don't crease when they hang for a while.

Should you hang your pants upside down by the hem and cuff. If so, what kind of pants hanger does the job and how do you do it? Currently I hang my pants from the waistband.
If you have the closet space for it, hang your trousers by the cuffs using a clamp hanger like the one in the top photo. The weight of the waistband gives gravity some help with wrinkle removal.
If your closets are double barred like mine, hang them folded over a trouser bar.

I have always used a clamp style hanger for all my slacks and even do the same with my suit trouser's (jacket and trousers in one hanger)
I have found by using the clamp style it is much easier to bush them.
Will,
Wire hangers? Really? I was looking for the little smiling face behind those words.
